When I first got my GS after a S1000XR, the shift assist was pants
Having covered nearly 14k miles now for me I use the clutch from 1 - 2 and sometime 3 depending how many revs....too many and its like a prancing carthorse with a firework up its arse
Also helps on mine if you load it up for upshifts
Find I'm short shifting up as the torques is there.....lots of it
The GS shift assist works fine for me with downshifts even to first, speed dependant
In my mind the gearbox and shifter have got much better with the miles
